As of January 2024 all vision sabers are built with the USB port/button on the flowcap side of the blade. We've included a video below that shows how to remove the flowcap to access the charging port. 


There are a couple main reasons for this design choice, including:

  • Ease of use: You can press the saber blade button through the flowcap, making it easier to turn the blade on/off and change modes and settings! You can also charge the blade without having to detach it from the shaft. 
  • Reducing wear and tear on the saber parts: Since you can charge the blade without having to detach it from the shaft connector, the amount of wear and tear on the connector is greatly reduced. 


You can still remove the blade if you want to break down the saber for travel. Check out the video at the bottom of the page to see how to separate the blade from the shaft. 


Please note, removing the blade too frequently can wear down the connector. If it gets too worn down, the blade may come off the shaft while you're flowing. If you do break your saber down often, keep an eye on the tube connector tabs and how tight/secure the blade feels once the saber is fully assembled. 


If you notice that the blade or pommel connectors are showing signs of wear, please contact us for support.






****If you got your saber BEFORE January 2024 the USB port is on the shaft-end of the saber blade. Check out the information below for information on the design choice and how to charge the saber blade*****


Vision sabers are constructed differently from other vision props in that the charging jack is NOT under the flowcap.


There are 3 main reasons why we chose to put the charging port on the handle-side rather than the tip-side: balance, aesthetics and durability:

  • Balance: The vision board is not uniformly shaped along the length of the board. The battery side has 2 rows of LEDs surrounding the battery, and the board extends to a single row of LEDs for the rest of the length.
    For all the other vision props, we have the battery-side at the ends for weight/balance - this makes sense for poi, staffs, chucks, dart etc.
    For the sabers, this would have made the tip heavy, especially because the blade is so much longer than other props.
  • Aesthetics: The battery side also has a shadow from the battery - you don't notice it as much in a shorter prop, but it is more noticeable in the saber if we were to put the battery/charging side at the tip. We wanted the blade to look bright along the whole length. 
  • Durability: Having the charging jack at the end over such a length would increase the chances of the port and battery wires being damaged. 


We hope this sheds some light on our design choice - it does make charging less convenient, but we thought the effort and having to make a dedicated usb cable was worth it.
